New report of DOE on global LED lighting

　　According to a recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) report , in 2010 the American Lighting consumes about 18% of total electricity consumption , the report also mentioned that in 2025 , relying on solid-state lighting (SSL) technology can be saved every year 217 megawatt hours of electricity (terawatt-hours, TWh), now about one-third of U.S. electricity consumption for lighting , energy savings equivalent to approximately 2.5 trillion British thermal units , which is approximately equal to the sum of the 2025 U.S. wind power or 2025, the sum of 12 solar power stations . According to price $ 0.1 kilowatt , equivalent to an annual saving of $ 217 billion , equivalent to 20 million U.S. households lighting electricity annually.

　　1 )In 2013 , the United States has all types of LED lighting applications increased from about 2012 more than doubled , ie 105 million .

　　2 ) Accordingly, in 2013 the use of LED energy cost savings per year than the previous year more than doubled , to about $ 1.8 billion , enough money to pay more than 14 million U.S. households each year lighting electricity.

　　3) Cree and Philips Lighting has announced a sample of 200 lm / W efficacy , demonstrate the feasibility of high-performance levels achieved.

　　4) LG Chemical commercial organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel of 60 lm / W and a color rendering index of efficacy (90).

　　5 ) Konica Minolta has developed a prototype OLED panel L50, with 55,000 hours life, 15 cm2 area of ??one thousand per square meter with candlelight device 131 lm / W efficacy , the development of flexible OLED panel thickness of only 70 microns.

　　6) LED A-lamp prices continue to fall , not dimmable 60W equivalent A19 priced at around $ 10 , dimmable lights sold at $ 13 , the price in some regions due to rebates or utility even further decline.

　　7 ) in Los Angeles to complete a four-year plan to replace the city's street lights , and has more than 140,000 LED lights installed. LED lights installed capacity of all U.S. more than 3.3 million .

　　From a global perspective , IHS expects 2013 LED lighting products accounted for approximately 18% of revenue , equivalent to $ 160 billion . Look from the sale of a single product , accounting for the largest amount is to replace the bulb . Strategies Unlimited estimates that in 2013 global sales of four absolutely support LED lights, indicating that the market penetration of about 3 %.
